Uh oh. Mayor Pete is not a "little person" guy. Know why?

An exclusive fundraiser is being held for him in Silicon Valley (CALIFORNIA) by very WEALTHY families.

A plus for you and big fat minus? Why?

    Who running is a "little guy" person? 

    Not. Bernie, Not Warren, Not Biden, certainly Not Steyer nor Bloomberg.

    Bernie and Elizabeth BRAGGED about the number of "little people" who contributed to their campaigns m2c. BRAGGED about it. Steyer and Bloomberg are billionaires. I am talking about the regular non billionaire crowd. How can you NOT KNOW THIS? I'm gonna ask.

    But they still got big people money.

    I included Bloomberg and Steyer because they are Dem candidates.

    I am not privy to who sent them money. Elizabeth Warren has FOR YEARS been working on behalf of the little guy. CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY! Remember? Also the Bern made it an issue. Bringing in billionaires when I am talking about those running to help the "little" folks makes absolutely no sense m2c. You muddy the waters with irrelevant info and it is not helpful to do that. Just FOCUS on the question and the point I'm trying to make here and don't drag in the alley cat Spike Jones or pumpkin pie. Okey dokey? Thank you for your reply.

    Ok. I thought you were talking about donors. (Your question mentions a Silicon Valley fundraiser)

    Warren has a long history of working for large corps. 
     

    In 1995, she found herself up against the Clinton administration, representing the Cleveland-based conglomerate LTV Steel.

    Even though LTV had sold off its coal mines during the 1980s, a new law required it to contribute to a health fund for retired miners.

    LTV believed that it should not have to pay. Those claims, the company said, should have been handled as part of its bankruptcy reorganization.

    The LTV case was part of a considerable body of legal work that Ms. Warren, one of the nation’s leading bankruptcy experts, took on while working as a law professor — moonlighting that earned her hundreds of thousands of dollars over roughly two decades beginning in the late 1980s, mostly while she was on the faculty at Harvard. Much of it involved representing big corporate clients.

    Among her corporate clients were Travelers insurance and the aircraft maker Fairchild, as well as one of America’s wealthiest families, the Hunts of Texas. A railroad company that wanted to avoid paying for a Superfund cleanup, and advised Dow Chemical as its subsidiary Dow Corning dealt with thousands of complaints from women who said they had been harmed by its silicone breast implants.
